Katie has taken a very often heard but seldom understood concept, and broken it open in a tangible way. The fear of the Lord is such an odd concept and one I have overlooked for lack of an ability to comprehend what it could mean. Not only has she broken it open and made it easier to examine and even understand..but she has taken it to a heart level. A place the Lord works.
She invites us into the scary, hard to sit in places of loss and fear with courage and boldness. Taking us deeper in such a way that we feel surrounded by love and understanding. No fear too small or silly..somehow I felt seen and known by her even while my heart cried out for her own process.
This is such an important book for this culture in this time… when the message seems to be “Just get over it” this book offers a deeper look at what God offers us in fear…a redirection of our eyes and hearts. Water walking is never easy, but Katie has skillfully and compassionately offered us a hand to step out of the boat.
What an important book to read… and have on hand to share—There is freedom from the heavy binding of fear. In these pages, we find an invitation to let the Father see us, and to see Him in a new and wonderful way.

—Jeannie Cunnion, author of Mom Set Free“Fear. It’s a feeling we all know too well, though we’d rather not. In Scripture we read “fear not” right alongside “fear God.” How can those two things coexist? That is the question Katie so beautifully answers, and in the answer we find the key to living fearless and free.” |
—Lisa Jacobson, author, cohost of FAITHFUL LIFE podcast, founder of Club31Women.com“Occasionally you pick up a book that you simply can’t put down: I Choose Brave was one of those books for me. Not only because Katie Westenberg tells such a powerful story, but because her words inspire both beauty and bravery in the same breath. You will not want to miss this life-changing message.” |
—Phylicia Masonheimer, Author of Stop Calling Me Beautiful“On a topic which is often confusing and intimidating - the fear of God - Katie speaks biblical truth. I Choose Brave combines riveting storytelling with theological depth. Every Christian struggling to understand what the Bible says about fear should read this book.” |
—Crystal Paine, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, and founder of MoneySavingMom.com“If you are walking through a hard place in your life, struggling with fear, or feeling overwhelmed by a mountain ahead of you, Katie’s book will serve as a welcome reminder to you to fear God and walk in faith. Her words challenged and convicted me to say “yes” to boldly believe God and choose bravery, in spite of my own fear.” |

“I Choose Brave” is such a timely word for God’s people. In a world that is quickly changing and in turmoil, we can stand on the truth that our God is unchanging. He is the same God today as He was during Creation. Katie reminds us that the daily reading of His Word and seeking Him during the quiet times of our life is the foundation for us to rely on during the heavy times of life. Building our faith muscle allows us to lean in to Him and rely on His wisdom and strength. Fearing God leads to wisdom. Fear of the Lord leads to obedience, which allows us to rely on God and seek His will for our lives. Katie strips away all the trendiness of Christianity and leads us back to the truth of who God is. I Am.
